About Me

I am a tutor and a teacher in the making with a strong and enthusiastic passion for education and educational growth. I believe that every student has their own unique strengths, challenges and learning styles and I love building relationships with students so that we can find strategies together that accommodate strengths but work through the challenges. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and currently attend Edgewood College, a smaller and private University in Madison, WI where I am working towards my English Licensure in Secondary Education (Grades 7-12). Although I would like to ultimately teach in a middle or high school, I have a background in tutoring students as early as Kindergarten. I volunteered in a local community center and tutored Elementary aged international students in different subjects, from math to reading and writing. I have spent a lot of time volunteering in local middle schools in different literacy and reading classes, helping students to read, write and analyze texts at different grade levels and knowledge levels. Through my undergraduate career I took several writing courses and a grammar course which included a lot of proofreading, editing and discussing writing strategies. Through my different tutoring experiences I have come across many different students, all with their own personal goals and academic levels. My goal as a tutor is to morph my teaching style to work with any student in a way that works best for them, no matter what challenge they're facing or where they're at with their learning. I believe that tutoring is a collaborative effort based on communication and finding the tools and styles that work best with the students learning. Together, a student and I can build strategies and methods for their success and understanding so that they are in charge of their learning as much as I am. As a tutor, I want to be a passionate guide to reminding every student how successful they can be and tuning in to the ways that will work best to make a student the most successful.
